## Indications for Use

The Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringes are intended for the subcutaneous injection of insulins. In addition, the Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringe is designed to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries.

## Device Story

Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringe is a 1 cc retractable piston syringe with a 100-unit scale. Device facilitates subcutaneous insulin delivery while incorporating an antineedlestick safety mechanism. Operation involves manual injection; post-injection, user rotates plunger 180 degrees to couple needle/adapter to plunger. Withdrawal of plunger retracts needle into barrel. Lateral pressure on plunger against flange causes controlled fracture, securing needle within barrel for disposal in sharps container. Device is sterile, single-use, and intended for clinical or home settings. Safety mechanism reduces risk of accidental needlestick injuries to healthcare providers or patients during disposal.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, hemolysis, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity) and mechanical performance (force to assemble/disassemble, cannula bending, pressure leakage, plunger action, and accuracy).

## Technological Characteristics

1 cc piston syringe with retractable needle mechanism. Materials verified via First Article Inspection. Sterilized via gamma irradiation. Complies with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1:1997 for external communicating, blood path, indirect contact (<30 days).

## Regulatory Identification

A piston syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a calibrated hollow barrel and a movable plunger. At one end of the barrel there is a male connector (nozzle) for fitting the female connector (hub) of a hypodermic single lumen needle. The device is used to inject fluids into, or withdraw fluids from, the body.

## Predicate Devices

- B-D 1 cc Insulin Syringe ([K024112](/device/K024112.md))
- Inviro 6 cc Syringe ([K941450](/device/K941450.md))

## Device Description: D.

The Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringe is a 1 cc retractable type antineedlestick syringe. The syringe has a 100 unit scale in 1 unit increments. The Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringe is sterilized by gamma irradiation and supplied sterile in blister pack. One hundred blister packs are packaged in a chipboard box. Each Blister pack and chipboard box is labeled with the contents and the appropriate information per the FDA's Quality System Regulation and Labeling requirements.

After use, with the plunger fully compressed, a 180 degree rotation of the plunger couples the Adapter/Needle to the end of the plunger. After this coupling occurs withdrawal of the plunger causes the Adapter and the attached needle to be withdrawn into the safety of the barrel. In this position against the flange, lateral pressure on the plunger results in a controlled fracture of the plunger. Both the syringe and plunger are discarded in a Sharps container.

- E. Intended Use:
The Inviro Snap Safety Syringes are intended for the subcutaneous injection of insulins. In addition, the Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringe is designed to aid in the prevention of needle stick injuries.

- F. Comparison of Required Technological Characteristics:
Information was submitted to demonstrate that there are no significant differences in technological characteristics between the Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringe and the cited predicate devices.

- G. Summary and Conclusion of Nonclinical and Clinical Tests:
Prior to testing, First Article Inspections were conducted on all components. In addition, material verification was performed on all components.

The Inviro Snap Safety Syringe assembly was tested per the requirements of the ISO-FDA Modified Matrix, FDA/ODE General Program Memorandum - # G95-1 and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-1:1997 for a External communicating device, Blood path, indirect for a period less than 30 days,

{2}------------------------------------------------

Biocompatibility testing included Cytotoxicity, Intracutaneous Reactivity, Maximization Sensitization Study, In Vitro Hemolysis Study, USP and ISO Systemic Toxicity Studies and USP Prorogen Study. The Inviro Snap Safety Syringe met all of the biocompatibility requirements.

The following performance tests were conducted to qualify the interface between the various components:

- 1. Force to assemble/disassemble cap
- 2. Force to separate Adapter from Cannula
- 3. Force to Snap off Plunger
- 4. Cannula Beriding Test
- 5. Force required to press out Adapter from Barrel

The following tests were conducted to qualify the syringe assembly:

- 1. Freedom from air and liquid leakage past seals
- 2. Pressure Leakage Test
- 3. Plunger Action Force
- 4. Accuracy

The Inviro Medical Snap Safety 1 cc Insulin Syringe met all requirements.

The intended use of the Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringe is identical to that of the B-D 1 cc Insulin Syringe. Any differences in technological characteristics were insignificant and do not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.

Conclusion:

The Inviro Snap Safety Insulin Syringe is substantially equivalent to the B-D 1 cc Insulin Syringe in indications for use and technological characteristics.
